PET SHOP BOYS - The Night I Fell In Love

OK, this song has me falloff everytime I hear it. lol


The Pet Shop Boys, I feel, are an underrated pop duo. "Was Not What it Was" , "Home and Dry" and there updates to "Go West" and "Try It (I'm in love with a Married man) represent pop music at it's most sugary best.

But from time to time, they take it a step further and actually do some very hilarious tongue in cheek stuff.

Their homage/diss song to Eminem just kills me! lol



Can anyone tell me the story behind this?
Has Eminem every made a response publicly to this song?



For those of you who don't know the premise is that this gay groupie of a rapper gets a...erm... backstage pass lol and discovers the rappers got some sugar on his toes as well lol . The references to Dr. Dre & "his homies" and "Stan" is sort of a dead giveaway that they're referring to Eminem here falloff.

I am not a huge fan of Release, so I am not that familiar with that particular song. I read it's about Eminem and his homophobic remarks.

Was Not What it Was - Never heard of this song.

I do have to say they have a lot of Cheeky music and some hilarious lines...songs like

The title is:

"The night I feel in love"

One must write an psb song title like it was a phrase!

I agree. I like when PSB are at the most witty, which is 90% of the time. Never got into "Release", which was a worthwhile attempt at something different, but think "Fundamental" is pretty brilliant.
